Let There Be Peace

This song was written by a former member of the Solidarity Choir. She said: “I wanted to bring something to choir that week that was positive, uplifting and easy to learn. I think of it as a secular prayer – a longing for peace.”

English Lyrics

Let there be peace
Let there be peaceful times
And let peace surround us all
Yes in times like these
That bring us to our knees
Let there be peace.

Let there be joy
Let there be joyful times
And let joy surround us all
Yes in times like these
That bring us to our knees
Let there be joy.

Let there be calm
Let there be quiet times
And let calm surround us all
Yes in times like these
That bring us to our knees
Let there be calm.

Let there be songs
Let there be rousing times
And let songs surround us all
Yes in times like these
That bring us to our knees
Let there be songs.
